Teeth Whitening

Our smile is often the first thing people notice about us. When it’s white and bright we feel more confident about showing it off. There are countless over-the-counter products promising professional-quality whitening. Yet none are nearly as effective as a whitening treatment performed by your dentist. Dr. Ali Saeghi has tried a lot of products before finding one he found works best for his patients. Schedule your in-office teeth whitening by calling any of Modern Age Dentistry’s five California locations.

Teeth Whitening Q & A

Why is Dash Whitening System so effective?

Dr. Saeghi has been practicing dentistry for more than 25 years. He knows that patients appreciate quick and convenient treatments that keep their smiles looking their best. Whitening your teeth doesn’t have to involve a lot of time or money. It can be part of your regular beauty routine - like coloring your hair or getting your nails done. Simple and easy.

Of all of the treatments, he has tried, Dr. Saeghi finds Dash in-office teeth whitening the easiest and most effective product available. Dash is great for patients short on time because it requires no mixing and the application is uncomplicated. Dash also offers the only FDA-approved product to manage sensitivity after treatment.

How does professional teeth whitening work?

Chairside teeth whitening is a straightforward process with no pain or discomfort. After a brief oral exam and discussion about any sensitivity issues you may have, Dr. Saeghi color shade matches your teeth with your desired results.

Dr. Saeghi begins by inserting a cheek retractor, bite block, and cotton into your mouth to isolate your teeth and protect the surrounding tissue. Whitening gel is then applied in cycles with short breaks in between. Modern Age Dentistry staff members make sure you are comfortable and relaxed throughout the entire procedure.

If you experience any sensitivity after the whitening gel is removed, Dr. Saeghi applies gel to relieve it. After that is removed, you are all set! We recommend you do not eat or drink for 30 minutes after in-office whitening.

How can I keep my smile its whitest?

Your smile is an investment. It is important to take the time to keep it looking bright long after you leave the dentist. After a professional whitening treatment, there are a few simple things you can do to keep your smile white.
